A New Appointment.
Benton j. Hall,
To Be COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS.

The new Patent Commissioner, who
duties as such on May l, is resident
of Burlington Iowa, and one of it's lead
ing lawyers. He is a native of the State
of Ohio, born at Mount Vernon, Knox
County, on January ID, 1885; but was
under five years OF age when taken to
Iowa, which has been his home ever
since. Mr.. Hall attended Knox College,
Illinois, for time, and afterward
studied at Miami University, Ohio, of
which he is graduate. From 1865 to
1857 he read law in his fathers office
OF Burlington. His name has been, on
the roll of Iowa attorneys since 1857.
IIr. Hall was member OF the lower
house of the General Assembly Of the
State of Iowa, in 1872-73. In January,
1882, he took his seat as State Senator,
beginning term of four years useful
public service in the capacity indicated.
He was q successful candidate for the
Forty-ninth Congress, and served full
term as member of the House of Rep
resentatives at Washington. His can
didacv for a renewal of the trust WIS
defeated in the election of last fall,
when Ex-Governor John H. Gear, his
Republican opponent, won the con-
tested seat.
The Commissioner of Patents is
charged with the administration OF the
Patent Laws, and supervises all matters
relating to the issue of letters patent for
new and useful discoveries, inventions
end improvements. He is aided in his
work by al Assistant Commissioner,
three TX miners-in-C hief, an Examiner
of lnterf rences, an Examiner OF Trade
Marks, and twenty-five principal Ex-
alhincrs. The duties of the Office to
which Mr. Hall has been appointed, to
succeed Colonel M. v Montgomery,
resigned, are of an increasingly arduous
and responsible character. With the
further development of the American
genius for invention. together with the
accumulated results of its production,
it may soon be that existing arrangc-
ments at the Patent Office VIII be found
inadequate.

THAT NOSCasENT AGAIN.

We believe one o: the principal rca-
sons why no active steps hav. been taken
towards erecting n suitable monument
to our Confederate dead, is because the
matter has not been kept before the
reading public. Everyone thinks it
ought to be erected, bat 10 one seems to
think it is his business to keep the mat
ter before the people, or take any steps
il that direction. One thing is certain,
if no one will take the lead the monu-
mcnt will not be erected. Where is the
patriotism Of our country? Are we
ashamed Of the cause which cost these
citizens their lives and their property?
When did this state OF things come to
be thus? How long is It to continue?
True it is. We arc willing to bury the
hatchrt, and live in one Union, knowing
no North and no South, but surely that
does not hinder us from paying this
slight tribute to the gallant defenders Of
the Lost Cause. who gave up thcir lives
Tor its maintenance. Oh no. the world
at large will think the better Of US for it,
md will believe more readily that We
fought for q principle. 1t is an act of
justice. and we hope the day is not Gar
distant when VIC can herald its erection.

Theory of Earthquakes.

Earthquakes are generally supposed
to be caused by sulphurous nitrous
yapors inclosed in tho bowels Of the
earth, which by some accident take fire
where there is. little or no vent. These
vapors may take fire by fermentation, or
the accidental falling Of rocks or stones
in hollow places in the earth, and in
striking against each other. When the
matter which forms subt.rraneous fires
in the bowels of the earth fermcnt and
in1ame, the fires thus ignited make an
effort on every side, and if il does not
find a natural rent or vent, raises the
earth and forms a passage by throwing
up the upper strata Of the earth, forming
what we call volcanoes. If the matter
which forms these subtcrraneuus fires be
not very considerable 4 shock may en-
sue without a volcano beihg formed.
The air produced and rarc'icd by the
su~hterrareons fires !mar also form small
vents isv which n shock may be pro-
dnced without q volcano being formed,
and tits only when this yapor Of steam
is peHt up that volcanic ernptions take
place. Tae ear,ii Is very much like a

Ola theory of earthquakes which We
haH" jI;t related is far more plausible
than al, advanced recently by quite II

IL Is 4 we'll, Established fact, and we he

have before stated. A shock may occur

at Charleston on the night OF the 3tSt
August, 1886. The force cXerted by

eight times greater than that Of gun.

SAINT is to five hundred. Further, in
support Of u theory we have only to
refer to history III confirmation as to
the wonderful power of these dreadful
phenomena of nature. Pliny has not
only recorded many in his own time,
but quotes the books Of the Tuscan
learning, where he speaks Of an earth
quake so terrible in Il certain citv Il the
Lacedcmonians that wholly buried the
city and caused the mountain Tar.c,uS
TO fall down among them. lie relates
another in Modrna, Of Asia Mii.ur, where
Two hills were repeatedly dashed to-
Scthcr.
The greatest earthquakes in the mem
DRY of man occurred during the reign nf
fiherluS Cesar, when twelve cities OF
Asia were laid waste in one night. Fir"
and water then are the principal agent,
employed in these dreahful convulsions
Of nature. That there is far down in the
bowels OF the earth molten matter, fire
and w.tr,, there can be no doubt.

a DANGEROUS PARCHMENT.

We noticed when the Sheriff, Clerk,
and Jury Commissioner were drawing
the last jury that they did so with closed
doors. or course, with these efficient
and conscientious officers everything
was dore right, but nevertheless we
think this q rather dangerous %innova-
ton. and one that ought not to have the
approval (by preccdent) of such officers.
In fact, we believe it to be contrary to
the law. Abbeville county may not
always have such faithful officers, and
it would not be well to let this practice
become law by custom. These are
merely suggestions, but VIC think they
ought to have some force.

OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES.

We are aware Of the fact that this is a
question extremely hard to deal with,
and TINT more than one oi Il greatest
men have attempted to discuss it and
fnilcd to find any remedy in the case.
The difficulty of dealing with il, how
ever. ought not tn deter us from ,ilScusS-
ing it. We have no pet theory Concerto
ing our roads and bridges which ""
propose to promulsat", but il does seem
TO us that more care should be exercised
in the working Of our public roads and
bridges. With the former, as little work
rs is possible is done in as short time as
Is possible. With tho latter, as Il gen
cral rule, as poor bridges as possible are
built with as little money Us is possible.
This strikes us rs an economic hcrcsy.
1t may seem to pay at first, but it wont
do in the long run.
The remedy then is apparent. Let
tie supervisors and ovcrsecfrs Of the
road be men Of practical understanding,
and make them personally responsible
for the condition Of the roads. Let them
work with the idea that what they are
doing is to last, and not to be done away
with by the first hard rain that ONE
Let the County Commissioners Them
selves superintend the building Of the
bridges, and see that they arc properly
constructed from the foundations; that
they are above higk-watcr mark, AID
strictly in accordance with the spccitica-
tions. We nave allowed enough OF the
peoples money to be washed away by
frcshets, and we have had experience
enough to know hat our bridges in the
past have not been high. enough, nor
strong enough, and experience is y dear
teacher. Can't We profit, then, by our
learning in this school? If we do not,
we deserve poor roads and poor bridges,
and will continue to have them.
